With FIFA 15 having been sat in our consoles ever since its release a couple of weeks ago (let’s be honest, it hasn’t been dislodged by any other games!) it’s a virtual guarantee that Career Mode has had a little outing. It can be frustrating to play against the computer’s ‘wriggle and pass’ AI, but hone your skills and you can give it the run-around and get quite a lot of enjoyment from doing so.
The focus of the game mode is to build a side to dominate the world of football, and to do so you will need to pick up some great signings in the transfer market. Anyone who’s played it before will know that getting top-class potential is the best method, so we at FFC Towers have put in some leg work to let you know who to snap up…

Simone Scuffet

The bedrock of any decent team on FIFA 15, as in real life football, is the goalkeeper, and there are few better options out there on the new game than Simone Scuffet. The Udinese stopper is one of the very best young goalies around at just 18, and is already being tipped for a future in Italy’s senior squad – the Azzurri have a decent record when it comes to producing glovesmen.
With potential to reach rating of 88, Scuffet is one to pick up before it’s too late.
Raheem Sterling
Pace is key on FIFA 15, and they don’t come a lot quicker than Sterling. The Liverpool winger may not be the absolute quickest player on the game with a pace rating of 91, but his supreme dribbling skills make him rapid with the ball at his feet. The Reds won’t sell cheap, but with the potential to reach a rating of 85, the Jamaican-born England international is well worth the outlay.
Hakan Calhanoglu

While pace and trickery grabs the headlines, Calhanoglu brings something different to the table. The Hamburg midfielder is an absolute tank in midfield, with his range of shooting and passing making him a great tool to sit in midfield and spray the ball around. He’s not immobile by any stretch of the imagination, so get him within 30 yards of goal, and the opposition’s ‘keeper will certainly have plenty to worry about.
Memphis Depay

After shining at the World Cup over the summer, Depay has been given a little bump in terms of ratings in FIFA 15. The Dutch winger has a great skill star rating, which combined with his pace and dribbling, make him lethal from a wide position in a counter-attacking team. PSV Eindhoven won’t demand mega money for their man either making Depay – who will reach a rating of around 84 – a wise buy.
Luke Shaw
He may have been deemed unfit by Louis van Gaal this season, but Shaw is certainly ready on FIFA 15. The now Man United left-back boasts great physical stats to start with, and as the weeks, months and years pass his technical attributes will creep up to make him one of the very best full-backs available.
Ross Barkley
Now, Barkley will cost an absolute fortune but he’s worth every penny. His playing style on FIFA 15 is reminiscent of Steven Gerrard in his pomp, with the Everton man strong, quick and ferociously good in front of goal. There may be better passers around, but for blunt force, Barkley is the one to get.
Julian Draxler

Draxler is certainly not a surprise name on this list, but we thought he should be brought back to your attention. With the potential to reach a rating of close to 90 overall, the German is certainly one to hoover up early on to avoid other big clubs getting their grubby mitts on him. Draxler’s main strengths are dribbling and passing, making him a lethal option in the No 10. role.
Kurt Zouma
Zouma may be impossible to get early on, but bide your time and this colossus of a centre-back could be the future of your backline. The Frenchman is a monster physically, with his strength, pace and aggression stats all high from the off, while ratings for tackling and heading are by no means embarrassing.
Mateo Kovacic
//www.youtube.com/embed/_vFMqwIR67s
Not dissimilar to Draxler, Kovacic is another lethal playmaker. The Croatian boasts excellent passing and dribbling stats to compliment his pace, but he also possesses good strength and decent height for a player of his type. Inter Milan won’t let him go cheap, but with potential to reach an 86+ rating, he’s worth it.
Aleksandar Mitrovic
//www.youtube.com/embed/as9C1YAuXcg
Old fashioned and barrel chested are not usually descriptions of a video game striker worth snapping up, but Mitrovic breaks that mould. The powerful 19-year-old is a great target man for players who like to use the big ball forward or work crosses down the wings. Don’t expect much right stick fun with Mitrovic, but he’s (relatively) cheap and will develop into a top class forward.
